Abstract:

A state-of-the-art survey of complex words, this volume brings together a team
of leading international morphologists to demonstrate the wealth and breadth
of the study of word-formation. Encompassing methodological, empirical and
theoretical approaches, each chapter presents the results of cutting-edge
research into linguistic complexity, including lexico-semantic aspects of
complex words, the structure of complex words, and corpus-based case studies.
Drawing on examples from a wide range of languages, it covers both general
aspects of word-formation, and aspects specific to particular languages, such
as English, French, Greek, Basque, Spanish, German and Slovak. Theoretical
considerations are supported by a number of in-depth case studies focusing on
the role of affixes, as well as word-formation processes such as compounding,
affixation and conversion. Attention is also devoted to typological issues in
word-formation.  The book will be an invaluable resource for academic
researchers and graduate students interested in morphology, linguistic
typology and corpus linguistics.
